    @Zubb Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm trying to create a schedule to bring some structure to my life. I know I'm more productive and relaxed when I have a whole day planned out, but I couldn't maintain a schedule when I was gaming. That's why I'm currently reading practical books on self-discipline and time management and I'm trying to incorporate small changes here and there. I recommend Atomic Habits as a practical one and Can't Hurt Me as an inspiration (but it also has many practical tips). Hopefully, these improvements will accumulate overtime.

    When it comes to leisure activities, I play electric guitar and listen to a lot of music, but I really try to listen to it by playing a whole album from start to finish and paying attention to details - I recommend everyone to do that from time to time, because imo you'll appreciate the artist more. I spend more time with my family as well.

    Day 17

    Done.

    Stay hard.

    Day 13

    Still not much better. I feel very unproductive, but I need to push through it all. The good news is that I'm starting a student internship soon.

    Stay hard.

    Day 11

    Today was pretty bad. Definitely the worst day so far. I've been having urges to relapse throughout the day, but I didn't give up.

    1. Finished a few Python exercises on Jetbrains and French lessons on Duolingo.

    Stay hard.

    Day 6

    Whenever I have an urge to relapse, I don't fight that thought. I look at it and just let it fade away. It helps.

    1. Python on Jetbrains.
    2. French on Duolingo.
    3. Did some reading.
    4. Spent some time with my family.

    Stay hard.

    New guy intro

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Kamil, I'm 23 years old and I live in Poland. I'd been gaming a lot since I was 4 and managed to stop when I went to university. Unfortunately, with time I started watching twitch streams and related youtube vidoes here and there, which turned into an addiction that's very hard to quit for me. There were times when I could watch that shit all day and obviously I would feel miserable at the end. The best I could do was a month of detox and then I would always relapse. I know it's not a gaming addiction per se, but it's related and I feel like it made more harm than gaming for me.

    I'm a math student and I want to get a job as a data scientist or a software engineer in the future. I'm starting my journal today.
